The End!

I can't believe it's over! What a great experience this has been. Some of the "things" I had used before, and others were brand new to me. Google Reader has totally changed the way I read blogs (and saves me sooo much time). I'm completely addicted to Twitter...it was a lifesaver during the power outage since I was able to use it on my phone!

Things that I don't think I'll use as much are MOLDI (since I really don't listen to audiobooks) and online image generators (fun but who has the time?). Overall though, I'm glad I had the chance to play around with everything that we covered.

If we offer the program again, I think it would be a good idea to either (a)have fewer "things", (b)make it a longer program, or (c)break it up into two parts. A lot of staff became frustrated with the amount of time that was involved. Also, if staff are expected to work on this on their own time, that needs to be more clear. No one seemed to be very comfortable with that idea!

I would definitely participate in any future discovery programs like this. I love how staff are now communicating using the tools that we've learned about, and I'm become friends with staff members that I didn't know before via Twitter and their blogs.
